From pure logical point of view, I don't see why, because engine operates more or less at the constant temperature. But if I have think dig into my memory, I seem to recall I see more seals and gaskets issue from cars from hot states. Purely wild guestimate tho.
Having that said, for older used cars, I will take one from hot states over cold states because of rust. This alone makes repairing and maintenance very difficult or impossible.
